Young Boy (in all three works)

About the Job

Appears in all three works. Age: 8–11 Ethnicity: Caucasian Gender: Male Rebellious but quiet, observant presence who serves as a through-line across the trilogy. The role is primarily nonverbal and rooted in natural behavior onstage rather than performance in a theatrical sense. Looking for a child who is comfortable being present in a live performance environment, able to follow timing cues, and maintain focus onstage. *Preferably he would be open to having a closely shaved haircut as part of the role, but it is not a deal-breaker. (See photo reference.) Bonus (not required): basic ability to throw or catch a baseball for a brief staged moment in the third work. Performance references for tone and presence include the young boys in August Rush, mid90s, and Free Willy. PLEASE NOTE RELEVANT EXPERIENCE.
